Hi 
Somehow the script snddevices doesn't take care of the ownership of the
alsa devices. I'm not sure about other linux distributions but on
Debian the sound devices are like this

crw-rw----   1 root     audio     14,   3 Jan  1  1970 /dev/dsp 

owned by root.audio and I think it is good that way.
I'll attach a patched version of "snddevices.in" that changes ownership
according to two variables that are set in the first lines.
Could somebody merge this into the autoconf stuff? I don't want to mess 
with it because I would most certainly shot my own foot :-)
